P&N 300 x 200mm Carpenter Square

The P&N carpenter square is a 300 x 200mm measuring and marking tool in black powder coated steel, built for carpentry, framing and general construction. The dual arm design gives a clear 90 degree angle for checking squareness, laying out lines and setting angles for cutting or assembly. The black finish reduces glare on sunny sites, and the permanently etched graduations stay readable for the life of the tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a carpenter square used for?

A carpenter square is the tool for checking that a joint or assembly is square, marking lines at 90 degrees, and laying out cuts. The 300 x 200mm size suits framing and joinery work where you need a square big enough to span a board or a frame member.

Why is the black finish useful?

The black powder coat reduces glare and reflection, which makes the etched graduations easier to read on a sunny job site or in a brightly lit workshop. It also gives the steel a tough, durable finish that stands up to site use.

Are the markings accurate and durable?

The graduations are permanently etched into the steel, so they do not wear off with use, and the precision machined edges keep the tool accurate for line drawing and squareness checks. It is a tool built to stay accurate over a long working life.

Is this square big enough for roofing work?

For checking squareness and laying out right angles, the 300 x 200mm square is a good general construction size. For rafter pitches and angle layout on a roof, a rafter square is the more specialised tool, and P&N make both.

Is the square accurate enough for marking out?

Yes. The precision machined edges and permanently etched graduations are built for accurate marking and squareness checks. It is a trade level square that holds its accuracy on site, which is what you need when a frame has to go together square.
